Entry for Jesus Christ from Amtract Dictionary
Personal Comment – The terminology is very specific. Jesus Christ is a person that exists forever because he is fully God, and he took on humanity to complete the salvation of man’s souls. Jesus comes from the OT Joshua, or Jehovah is salvation. Christ comes from the concept of Messiah or the anointed to do a very special task before God. In Jesus’ case, to execute salvation for God and mankind.
Godly entry from the Amtract Dictionary
Personal Comment – The concept of “godly” has to do with God. How God is, so is the godly. When we take on voluntarily the good and righteous character of God, then we become godly, and when we do God’s work in this way that God wants it done, then we are also associated with or become godly.
Entry on God from Amtract dictionary
Personal comment – After studying every occurrence of the word “god” in the Bible (at least most of them) I concluded that the base most concept of “god” is somebody that dictates the life situation and decisions of another. Psalm 82 speaks of God (the only true God) judging amongst the “gods”. The chapter is very difficult to understand, but it is best understood as “god” being a judge or politician or king that makes or affects the lives of others.
